Notes and quote fight scene

In the first second of the clip, we see a close up of an old fashion recorder. The audience can hear two things at this moment, first being the sound coming from the speakers and the diegetic sound of cars around him. The music played is Salt and Pepper “shoop” that came out in 1993 which is the same year that the first Deadpool comic came out. Even though we haven’t had an establishing shot yet, audience would still be able to denote the setting being a motorway. This shot slowly pans out to a medium shot allowing audience to see Deadpools feet dangling. Audience who are fans of the comics would recognise the costumes worn and connote that it is Deadpool. The next shot (00.03) is with a sound bridge from the speakers to bird-eye-view of Deadpool sitting on the side of the motorway. How this shot is framed is very important as it establish the setting being a motorway as well as confirming that Deadpool is the character shown. After this (00.11) we get a long shot of the protagonist. For the next couple of scene, the protagonist sings the song as we get different angles and shot of the location. At 00.16 we get an over the shoulder shot showing a childish drawing of Deadpool killing another character which would be used in a later scene. Than at 00.20 Deadpool looks straight to the camera and talks to the audience. This is called breaking the fourth wall figure when the character directly addresses the reader or viewer. In this case, Deadpool knows that he is a fictional creation in a story and tells us how he got the movie to be made while referring to other character in the same cinematic universe such as Wolverine and X- Men.  He says “I got places to be, a face to fix and oooh, bad guy to kill.”  This film isn’t in chronological structure as we start with action scene and allows the origin to begin with flashbacks so the audience doesn’t need to wait for the protagonist to change to Deadpool like other traditional superhero films. They balance the violent scenes with the grounded Ryan Reynolds scene to carry the narrative. This is called a non-linear narrative. We than (00.44) get an over-the-shoulder shot with a sharp zoom showing five black cars with motorbikes. The audience would be about to connote that these men in these cars are villain from the colour of the cars and the way the cars are moving as well as form Deadpool announcing it. At 00.46, we get a median shot of inside the car which shows us the villains from the clothing and facial expression. The diegetic sound is contrapuntal to character as it isn’t what you associated villain to listen to. As well as this, this scene has synergy with the opening credit sequences as it is the same song played. Than from a low angle, the cars go over the camera which makes it shake showing the speed of the cars. The juxtaposition of Deadpool and the cars shows the audience that Deadpool is connected to them which could cause conflict in the future. The next sequence is highly dependent on the fast past editing and camera movement. As Deadpool falls to the car, he says “maximum effort” which is an action code from Roland Barthes suggestion of future violence or action. The fast pace editing is important as the mise-en-scene is only shown for a short period. This would mean that viewer’s heart rate would increase making it more enjoyable for them. However, the context is as important as viewers would have emotionally invested with the character to make it more enjoyable.

First draft of notes and quotes

NOTES Writer , quote, links , my opinion and summary Media form(this is for the whole movie) ·          The visual are dark which make the actors/actress more suspicious ·          The lighting is very dark for most of the scenes. The daytime scenes gritty ·          The props of an action/thriller film are very important as it would identify the genre to the audiences. These props are enigma codes that help audiences understand the scenes better. For example, if a gun is pulled out, they would be able to connote that something dangerous and exciting is about to happen ·         C-Most of the clothing warn in the film is modern and casual. The body suit warns by Dead- pool is the same costume that is warn in the comic. This will attract the fans from the comic as they would already know...

The following needs to be completed by the   MIGRAIN key concept research Media Representations  Who is being represented?  In what way?  By whom? One of the groups that are represented are villain who are shown in the movies as aggressive and unsympathetic.This reinforces the crime done by the villain which is shown in nearly every superhero film. Even though they are doing the same act of crime, they are breaking the law either being fictional or not.  Another group shown is superhero. In must superhero movies, the hero or heroine are shown to be noble and a role model to kids. However, in Deadpool, the hero is trying to benefit himself. This is an alternative view on superhero. Why is the subject being represented in this way?  Even though that this movie wasn't expected to do as good as it did, it still had the same stereotypes as the blockbusters. For example, the villain is from England. They are shown to be harmful to inno...

What effects do violent films such as ‘Deadpool’ have on audiences?

“You turn on the television, and violence is there. You go to a movie, and violence is there.” (Emanuel Tanay) 1 What effects do violent films such as ‘Deadpool’ have on audiences? Cinematic violence has been a part of films since movie making started. Nowadays, watching most films with most genres, there is a high possibility of seeing some sort of violence in the film. The hyper-reality in post-modern films such as “Deadpool” (2016) shows no consequences for violent acts in the films. This is stereotypical in all superhero films as we never see the protagonist getting in trouble. Similarly, in “Deadpool” (2016), the violence is protruding in a comedic way that uses violence to fuel the protagonist characterisation. Michael Haneke once said in “Violence and the Media”: "The western, crime, war, adventure, and horror genres define themselves in no small part through violence." 2 This shows us that violence has had a huge influence on these genres that now are depended on...
